What are my consumer rights?
What we are entitled to as a consumer
Consumer rights are protected by the Consumer Guarantees Act. The CGA protects you from bad deals faulty product sales and allows you to seek a fair deal.

Responsibilities of Producers
Produces must ensure that their goods and services meet the CGA. This means their goods must be fit for purpose and services fair.

The CGA
Under the CGA, your consumer rights are expressed as a series of guarantees that a seller automatically makes it to you.
